The Karate Kid

New Jersey teen Daniel LaRusso moves to Los Angeles with his mother, and soon strikes up a relationship with Ali. He quickly finds himself the target of bullying by a group of thugs, led by Ali's ex-boyfriend Johnny, who study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo under ruthless sensei John Kreese. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more compassionate form of karate for self-defense and, later, preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai.

"Wax On, Wax Off"

This is for sure a classic watched it so many times and never get bored love the vibe and music to it.

While the story is pretty simple it’s a great underdog story standing up against bullies and who doesn’t love getting some payback.

Daniel is a great character he makes you want to route for him, his relationship with Mr Miyagi is so good watch love the way he teaches him by making do his garden work so funny but clever teaching karate styles just by doing basic things.
"First Learn Stand, Then Learn Fly. Nature Rule, Daniel-san, Not Mine.”

Talking about Mr Miyagi he without a doubt makes this film as great as it is he lines and sayings are so iconic could put so many in this review, love way he looks after Daniel defending him against Johnny and his cobra Kai team was awesome and funny the way he just creeped up on them also a drunk Miyagi was hilarious even though I didn’t have a clue what he was saying πŸ˜‚.

I Love cobra Cobra cai in the future but they are bastards in this especially Johnny and I love his character but he’s a real bully in this no surprise having kreese as his shensei he’s even worse but great villains."No Such Thing As Bad Student, Only Bad Teacher. Teacher Say, Student Do."

The ending is really cool with the all Valley tournament just showed how much Miyagi taught Daniel with the lessons absolutely love this film don’t know where in my all time favourites it would be but definitely there for sure.

"Lesson Not Just Karate Only. Lesson For Whole Life! Whole Life Have A Balance, Everything Be Better."

The Karate Kid is insane, bro. Daniel moving to a new town, getting bullied, and then learning karate from Mr. Miyagi? Legendary. The training scenes are kinda funny but also actually smart β€” like, you really feel him getting better.

The final fight? Pure hype. You’re on the edge of your seat the whole time, and it actually hits you a little in the feels too. Friendship, life lessons, and some solid laughs all rolled into one.

9/10 β€” classic underdog vibes, super fun, and still epic even now. πŸ”₯

I went into this movie only having watched a couple of clips; the most familiar parts. However, I had no idea about everything that happened in between the training sequences, and I'm surprised at how invested I got in Daniel's personal story.

An excellent underdog story with a lot of good character work for basically every major character. I'm wish I'd seen this sooner, but I'm glad I watched it now.
